what uh i find disturbing about not just romney-ryan or the rom-ryan express but also obama-biden is the lack of focus on growth to reduce the deficit. perhaps we can cut our way there and the romney-ryan deficit will cut spending while keeping capital gains taxes low. that doesn't change with this pick. we can raise taxes on some individuals to solve a small part of the deficit. not much more. what we really need is healthy economic growth. something that would solve the employment crisis. we don't have it. even worse, i don't see meaningful suggestions under either candidate's plan to change it. for example, we had howard ham here from clr who advises romney on energy issues. he made it clear romney doesn't favor the natural gas act from bloom pickens to increase the use of plentiful natural gas to give us energy security and cleaner skies, surface fuel, nat gas. that plan could create hundreds of thousands of jobs. build new gas stations for compressed natural gas, cause more drilling to meet increased demand for service vehicles. pickens made it clear the nat gas act pays for its
